Although he had caught her with the Third Master in the past, he had not been as irritable as today. He had been so angry that she had thought he would kill her the next moment.
Jun Shiyan took an ice towel and pressed it against her face. His heart ached immensely. He moved carefully and said gently, “Bear with me.”
Ling Sheng looked at the man in front of her, not knowing what to say. She pursed her lips before saying in a hoarse voice, “Okay, Third Master…”
Jun Shiyan placed his fair and slender fingers on her lips, stopping her from apologizing. “He didn’t let you say it, right?”
Ling Sheng did not speak. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she could not help but cry. The image of her father’s murderous back view appeared in her mind.
Jun Shiyan now knew, but he had not dared imagine that Sheng Sheng was Huo Ci’s daughter. No wonder he had been causing trouble. He had said that Sheng Sheng was his niece, but he had been too nosy.
It took Ling Sheng a long time to calm down. Her mind was a mess, but she could not figure out what was up with that slap. She looked at the man sitting beside her and asked, “Third Master, what kind of feud do you have with him?”
Of course, Jun Shiyan knew who she was referring to. He thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Don’t worry. I don’t have a feud with him. Even if I did, I’d resolve it.”
Initially, he had not known about his relationship with Sheng Sheng and had not been bothered. He was just a great uncle, not someone he could do much about.
However, now that he knew that he and Sheng Sheng were father and daughter, he could not allow this hatred to continue. Otherwise, how could he marry Sheng Sheng?
Ling Sheng was vexed because of the slap. She had initially planned to go out for a walk, but she did not want to go out now. She lay on the sofa sullenly without moving.
Jun Shiyan looked at the young lady who was lying on the sofa. The script in her hand had not been flipped in 10 minutes. He walked over and squatted beside her. In a gentle voice, he said, “Xu Xi made a reservation at Wen’s Crayfish. Shall we go over and eat?”
He could feel that the young lady cared a lot about Huo Ci. Ever since she had returned from the airport, she had been in a muddled state. One moment, she was angry. The next moment, she felt wronged. A moment later, she wanted to make a phone call but threw her phone on the sofa.
“I’m not hungry.” Ling Sheng shook her head. She was so angry that she was full. The sudden slap had stunned her until her head was about to explode. In the end, she reached a conclusion. “Third Master, do you think he attacked me because he saw me with you?”
As she spoke, the nerves on her face hurt immensely. She did not know if the swelling would subside tomorrow during the filming process. She would have to put on a few more layers of foundation to cover it up.
“Not entirely.” Jun Shiyan thought for a while. When he saw the young lady looking at him with a strong desire to learn, he could not help but reach out to gently stroke her fuzzy head. In a gentle voice, he said, “But he was really worried that something would happen to you. That’s why he did such an extreme thing.”
Since he knew that Huo Ci would be his future father-in-law, he had to act well from now on. He could not let him misunderstand or drive a wedge between them.
The very thought of it gave him a headache. After all, he and Huo Ci had always been like fire and water. Before the incident with the Yan Family’s Second Brother, he had never been nice to him.
A relationship that had been chilly for decades was not something he could change overnight. However, for the sake of his young lady, he would try to get along with Huo Ci.
